Retro Colors with a Retro Sketch!

Hi Stampers!!

Even though this week
was extremely busy, I wanted to create a card using the retro CQC126ColourQ Challenge colors and I noticed that the ColourQ was highlighting a
new challenge blog from Arielle- Retro Sketches so I decided to use the RS1 sketch.

A brand new challenge with a wonderful idea- each week, a different Design Team member will choose an old "retro" sketch from one of their previous cards and create a new card with the "retro" sketch :-).If you had not had a chance to visit yet, check
out both sites for quite a bit of inspiration and join us for some fun!

To create this card:

To create the
focal image, de-static a piece of Whisper White with the Embossing Buddy®,
stamp the Sunflower background stamp with Versamark® ink, apply Stampin’
Emboss® Brown Embossing Powder (retired)
and heat with the Heat Tool. Once
cooled, color the petals with a Stampin’ Write Daffodil Delight marker.

Carefully cut
around the petals and mount the image onto a piece of Whisper White that has
been embossed with the Big Shot™ and the Square Lattice Textured Impressions™
Embossing Folder. Mount this onto
Pumpkin Pie.

Use the Crimper
Tool (had to use a retro tool for this one) and crimp the corners of a piece of
Pumpkin Pie cardstock to create the diamond pattern as well as three strips of
Early Espresso.

Assemble the
layers, add the sentiment and finish off with Metallic Brads.

Just beautiful, Julie! I love the pattern you created with the crimper! Great technique with cutting out the flower and adhering it to the textured paper. Thanks so much for playing at the ColourQ this week! :)
